Balloon Payment

Start with one foot on an exposed rock in the gap between the detached block and the left face of pillar. Climb the arete / ridge up to the obvious little roof at top, and straight over the roof.

Tricky sequence to get established on the arete is the crux.

Warning: The rock on and around this route has not been climbed much yet, and much of the rock is still breakable and loose -- so the belayer and other people should stand far away from underneath the climber.

. . . (Lots of vegetation on this rock as of 2016. Be prepared when climbing to navigate around protruding trees and branches, and dealing with holds slippery with grass, lichen, moss, dirt).

At a 6ft x 2ft detached block below a pillar with an overhanging rock on top (the "balloon"), just right of a dirty gully and just left of a wide dihedral / open book which is the left-most of four dihedrals.
